YQ300: The Red Team On Final Leg

The Red Team left Pelly towards Stepping Stone at 2.35pm ready for their final leg. The mileage is 31 miles there then turn around and do the same 31 miles back so don't be alarmed when you see the tracker show they have turned around - they are supposed to! They are currenty running in SECOND position with just over an hour in front to Michelle Phillips in first position and a couple of hours behind to Alex Serdjukov in third.

You will see in the standings that Aliy left with 9 dogs. She left Nelson with us as he developed a fairly minor rub on his neck, under his collar and at these cold temperatures there is a risk that raw skin can get frost-bitten. Where it was situated it would have been difficult to protect effectively and she didn't want to risk turning it into something more serious. He's perfectly happy hanging with Wedgy and Lydia waiting for the return of their team mates.
